"All Apple products conform to the European Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive, which restricts the use of lead and other substances" But as we not a restriction is not the same as a ban and there are exemptions. Apple have previously stated they have banned lead from (for example) glass backs and solder. My quick research indicates they may still use lead where there is no technical alternative although I can't cite a specific example. They have a matrix for what is acceptable in terms of sourcing, use and disposal relative to the quantities.
